Absolutely TERRIBLE!!! Google maps gives you directions for the border crossing from the airport basically cutting people that won’t let you pass . When your just following the directions . The lines and wait times are over 1hr . Save your money and time don’t waste it flying from TJ

Why have ready lane when the regular lane is faster? They have over 20 lanes with two booths, yet open 5 lanes with only with one booth, and that's on a good day.

So old school. This place has the same vibe its had since the 00's: feels old, murky, dirty and way too small.
Lines for permits (i-94) are extremely slow, could take up to two hours.
The only good thing here are the CBP officers that check everyone's documents, they are very quick and efficient.
2/5.

How come there’s like at least 15 “lanes” but there always closed?! Like 3 ready lanes and 1 regular lane almost all the time! You always see on the news how there expanding the lanes and opening more, NOT TRUE!
Instead of focusing on the other side and wasting money on all these border patrol people they should focus on their border for their tax paying citizens and work on reducing wait times and actually putting these border patrol agents on and opening the lanes!!! Are those just extra for decoration?!
You’re doing a bad job border patrol chief!
Yes, there is a place, you do not cross the line, the parking is inside the USA and you pass to the airport on foot, it is parking for those who are going to travel by plane from Tijuana

You need to report this through the contact info on the website.
Huy just saw it, there is a page of the custom that gives the report of how many cars cross per hour not how much row there is, there is an app of the custom BWT, you just have to filter which door to choose, since they publish all United States .
Are they open on veterans day?

Yes
is the inspection centre open on saturdays? I am looking to get paper work for my car to get registered.
I cross back to the US with just a drivers license. I've used an expired passport as well. I've crossed quite a few times though so they probably have my picture and documents in their database. They never give me any slack about just crossing with my drivers license.
Not all cabs from mexico side can cross into the USA. Drivers have to have at least a b1/b2 visa. And depends on the day and time, traffic can be up to 3 hours long to cross. You have to negotiate with the mexican drivers how much before you get in the cab. Best to walk across and get uber or lyft at the US side.
Depends on the time of the day. And the day of the week.
Could be anywhere from 30 minutes to a couple of hours

No that would be CBX on Britannia Blvd
Can I cross the East Otay Mesa crossing hauling a small boat/lancha? Or do I have to go somewhere else?
Phil Eager | Aug 21, 2021
Rae Burke | Aug 21, 2021
They probably wont turn you away
At Otay, you can't look like a tourist. As long as you look like you know what you are doing, they wont bother you. Smaller port- less hassles
since covid is the otay walking entrance open 24/7?
Can I drop someone off at Tijuana airport and cross back with just my driver license?
Yesenia Valois | Aug 21, 2021
Grace Lorraine | Aug 21, 2021
Is your vehicle totally situated--are the tags, title, and insurance all current and valid?
Your plan should work. The only (big!) concern is being certain you are NOT in an expedited lane (like Sentri) if you haven't paid for the privilege to use it. However, "All Traffic" lanes are for anyone, even if just a driver's license. Crossing seems much easier with a new "REAL-ID" style credential....
They've gotten careful about fruits and veggies--even if you bought something in the USA, you won't necessarily be able to bring it BACK.
Have fun, be safe, stay honest!
Is walking across boarder available 24 hours away also
Amanda Rios | Aug 21, 2021

Does anybody know how much they charge at the aduana if you take more than ten thousand dollars from US to Mexico? Thank you!
juanelo zamora | Aug 21, 2021
Charles Burba | Aug 21, 2021
That's very specific, but the rates change daily so no one can tell you but them.
When you cross from the US to Mexico, they ask you for documents, and what kind?
juanelo zamora | Aug 21, 2021
Ismael Gonzalez | Aug 21, 2021
There are two lines, one is for Mexicans and the other for foreigners. They do not always ask you to prove that you are Mexican, that is very rarely and in the foreigners, your valid passport is enough.
I have a question what are the requirements to cross to Tijuana in a car?
Edgar Ramirez | Aug 21, 2020
salvador najar | Aug 21, 2020
To have all your documents in order, just as if you where in the states (insurance, drivers license, registration).
What time do they close for pedestrian crossing in Otay Mesa?
Jesus Villagomez | Aug 21, 2020

Judith Zaragoza | Aug 21, 2020
To go to the airport. Not so bad but you can find out more about border xpress and see if they have parking. 2745 Otay Pacific Drive, San Diego, CA 92154, United States. For a small fee you cross the bridge and catch your plane, same when you come back.
I am a disabled person. I require oxygen cylinders and a portable ventilator to travel. Am I allowed to cross the border with my equipment and or Do I need a Dr.'s letter too?

Norma Gonzalez | Aug 22, 2019

I am an immigrant who traveled to Mexico with green card to visit a friend, and realized my green card has expired. I wish to go back tonthe US to renew my Greencard. Will the officer at the border help me with my green card and let me in?
Vy Von Presley | Aug 22, 2019
Ken J | Aug 22, 2019
They should be able to get you a temporary pass to be able to fix it as long as it is not expired too long ago. Just be nice and explain it nicely and you will have a better chance of getting help

George Esquivel | Aug 22, 2019

Hello, if you can walk across to enter Tijuana and enter San Diego regarding the caravan?
Sami Ocampo | Aug 22, 2019
Eleazar Fimbres | Aug 22, 2019
So far the non-pedestrian crossing has not been affected. I have heard comments that American officials verify your papers before crossing back to Mexico through the San Ysidro checkpoint.
Is the line in Otay into US shorter.. than the other one in TJ??
Alexiz mendoza | Aug 22, 2019
Elizabeth Hernandez | Aug 22, 2019
Depends. Are you going through the standard lanes, Ready Lane, or Sentri.
You are looking at about an hr to an hour and a half through Otay for the Standard lanes and about 2hrs+ through San Ysidro
Can I cross back into the US with my birth certificate and my ID
Gonzalo Reynaga | Aug 22, 2019
Eleazar Fimbres | Aug 22, 2019
Yes you can. Depending on the officer you might get sent to secondary inspection and possibly questioned a little but you should be able to cross back.
The San Clemente border patrol seized a car from me, someone could help me on where I can go and look for it to recover it, they did not give me information when they took it from me, thank you
Juan Carlos Hernandez | Aug 22, 2019
Norma Gonzalez | Aug 22, 2019
Well you should ask? To a local crane where they are taken
Depends on the time of day and day of the week. Holiday weekends will be twice as long. There are several apps for your phone that you can download and shows a graph of wait times each hour of the day.
